of a number of delegates that the
whole business was prearranged, in their

until the term became veritable Chest
nut, and provoked laughter at every refer
ence TO it Marshal Maratta was. on the
ground all day as a. member OF the Cass
county delegation. The speech of Temporary
Chairman Preston was one of the best things
of the convention being clear, concise
and Withal from true Republican
standpoint The convention, was NOT
as largely attended as its projectors
had hoped but men present were enthusi-
astic What it will accomplish at Washing

call of the roll on the question Of adopting
the report Of the committee on delegates is
the result of much unfavorable comment
among delegates and spectators He was
called to the chair by Mr.. Rice, whotook his
place withl the Moody county delegation, az
q motion had been made to place him upon
the delegation, in, place OF Secretary Boyn-
ton. The governor conxulsed the house by
his rulings onseveral questions. and then In

had no rightto demand the call Of the roll.
After adjournmen many Of those who as
sented to the decision admitted that it was
unfortunates Charitably disposed people ats
tribute it to the governors passion for hanss
mony. After the closing of the convention
your correspondent interviewed Mr.. Wright
of Minnehaha relative to his opposition to
the members at large on the the committee
to present the memorial to- congress He
